This is my take on FTL210. I used various patterned papers from the DCWV Linen Closet stack. I think this makes a great masculine card. I moved the sentiment a bit to the left to give the card some balance.Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey; Paper - PaperTrey, DCWV; Ink - PaperTrey Classic Kraft; Misc - PaperTrey Double Ended Banner Die, Foam Squares

I decided to take things at an angle for once. I have a very hard time straying from right angles, so this was a bit of a challenge, but also a lot of fun! For reference, I made my paper strips about 3/4 of an inch. I left them each at 6 inches long and then adhered them to the card base and trimmed afterwards.

Hi friends. I hope this finds you doing well. Isn't this week's sketch great? I love the circles and had a lot of fun using them as planets for my card. This was so easy to make and very colorful, perfect for a child's birthday!

Thank you so much for joining us this week and we always enjoy seeing what you create. Make it a great day! Here is my card that I'd like to share with you.

For my sentiment panel I started with a 1 inch panel, and added layers that looked right to me with the circles I had chosen. This sketch is supposed to be all about the circle background. So dig into your stash, find some circle stamp images, some patterned paper, or make your own collage of punched out circles.

I was in the mood for jewel toned blues and silver, so that's what I went with.

Here is my take on FTL207. The rose is a 3 step stamped image from Kitchen Sink Stamps and the sentiment is from PTI Faux Ribbon set. I embossed the three green panels with a Cuttlebug embossing folder for extra texture. The rose was cut out and popped up with foam squares.

Some dimensions for you...
Since 5-1/2 doesn't really divide by 3 terribly nicely, I "cheated' and made my 3 panels different sizes. The middle panel is 2-1/2x 1-7/8. The top and bottom panels are both 2-1/2x1-3/4. The card is the standard 4-1/4x5-1/2.

Here's my card!

Supplies:

Stamps: Insightful Meadow (Unity Stamps designed by Donna Downey), Garden of Life (PTI)

And here we are... at least for us... the last evening before school starts for the 2012-2013 school year. I don't know where the summer has gone!

It's time for the kids to go back to school and time for me to get serious about getting another job. It's time.

I do hope to find a little time to get creative before I go back to work though LOL....

I had a tough time with this sketch, simply because I don't have stamps of a similar image in different sizes. So then I thought I'd use die cuts... but I didn't have anything that went small enough.... so I pulled out my assortment of flowers and this is what I came up with...
